Its sad to say but 2 years have passed since Sweetwater, Haggard, Sarge and Marlowe blessed our consoles and PCs with humor and grace. Their 2nd outing exceeded expectations and managed to sell 12m copies across all 3 platforms. Naturally EA was be impressed with a spin off to the Battlefield franchise to sell so well.
However this has left them in a rather awkward position of having 3 big FPS titles to deal with. Battlefield, Bad Company and Medal of Honor. All of which sell well yet none take the market share that EA want. After Battlefield's first outing in over 7 years gamers started to leave the ever growing behemoth of Call of Duty as Peter Moore (COO at EA) believed it took a chunk of the market share.
Medal of Honor's latest foray is releasing this October and with Battlefield expansions for the whole of 2012 It leaves one to wonder "Might Bad Company 3 be EA's last FPS designed for this generation of games?" As E3 seems so far away I would hate to get my hopes up however I wouldn't be surprised to see Bad Company 3 with a release date of either March 5th, June 25th or October 29th 2013 release dates. The last date is approaching possible 8th Generation consoles though.
I would like to state that my assumptions are merely opinions and have no factual basis behind them.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I'm gonna say it.
Bad Company 2 was much better than BF3. Better class balance, better vehicle balance, better map design, better campaign....it was a better game.
So I'm ready for Bad Company 3. Bring it on.
i like alll of them
